GENERAL PRESENTATION
ECOBITE II Pro is a simple and economical electronic spreader controller for dry
material applications (salt, sand, gravel, etc.). It controls the uniform application of these
materials independently of spreader types or vehicle speed.
CONSOLE
The ergonomic design of the console allows the operator to:
•
•
•
•
Choose spreader settings between up to 4 material types;
Define the solid material spreading rate (typically from 5 to 995 kg/km);
Adjust the spinner spreading pattern (typically from 0.5 to 9.5 meters);
Momentarily blast a higher quantity of material in accordance with preset parameters.
REPORTS
There exists two methods of obtaining activity reports :
The [MNUCNT] function recuperates spreader data manually after each operation.
Consult ANNEX IV on page 33 for details.
)) This function is not factory activated.
Detailed activity reports can also be produced to analyze spreading operations
when the Ecobite II Pro controllers are fitted with ACE’s optional Infobite GPS data
loggers. The Infobite software generates reports for several vehicles and/or operators
and to work in multi user mode. To do so, it requires linking the Infobite data collection
system to the Ecobite II Pro controller (see ANNEX V on page 34). The Infobite GPS
automatically downloads the data collected all along the travelled route right to your
computer when the vehicle returns to its base.
FUNCTIONING MODE
The ECOBITE II Pro spreader controller incorporates two modes:
[OPERATING MODE]
This mode is selected for the regular activities of the spreader, like spreading salt on
the road. Consult OPERATING MODE section on page 7 for more details.

OPERATING MODE
• Start the controller by pressing the (PAUSE) button on the unit.
• When starting up, the controller will display the last material spread. You can select a different material type with the material switch (MAT. TYPE) or keep the same material. The spreader will not discharge any material while on (PAUSE).
• To start spreading, press the (PAUSE) button once.
• To stop spreading, press the (PAUSE) button once.The display will show «PAUSE».
• To close the controller, hold the (PAUSE) button pressed for two seconds.
• Select either the manual [MAN] or automatic mode [AUTO] with (AUTO/MAN) switch. The controller will show «AUTO» or «MANUAL» on its display according to the selected mode.
)) Turning the vehicle key ignition to the OFF position will also shutdown the controller.
MANUAL MODE
In manual mode, the conveyor and spinner speeds are directly controlled by the
position of their respective knob (CONV) and (SPIN). The controller directly sets the
hydraulic valve openings according to the knob position. The conveyor span setting
goes from 0 to 100 as the spinner setting goes from 0 to the programmed maximum
width, factory set to 3.0.
)) By default, the manual mode does not allow spreading while the truck is moving. To allow spreading in manual mode while moving, see [MANUAL] section on page 24.
)) While in manual mode, the controller considers the truck is moving at 45 km/h.
)) Use this mode for unloading the spreader.

AUTOMATIC MODE
In automatic mode, the controller takes the vehicle ground speed combined with the
conveyor (CONV) knob position to calculate the spreading rate. However, the spread
width is independent to speed and depends on the (SPIN) knob position only.
MAX MODE
The (MAX) button will increase the spread rate to perform a blast over a short
distance. By pressing the red (MAX) button you will start the blast function for a
programmed delay. You may stop the blast anytime by pressing the (MAX) button a
second time.
)) The programmed rate and width will flash on the display while the blast is on.
)) In manual mode the word «MAX» and the spread width will flash on the dis
play for the length of the blast.
)) An audible signal announces the end of the blast operation.
FAULT MESSAGES
Fault messages are displayed when the controller is unable to provide the requested
amount of material. Those messages are described here below.
LOSS OF CONVEYOR SPEED SIGNAL
The controller will start to beep and the spread rate on screen will indicate «0». After
a few seconds, the display will indicate «DPCONV» (Conveyor breakdown mode). This
mode allows the controller to continue spreading operations without the conveyor speed
signal. Spreading remains proportional to ground speed and takes into account the
chosen spread rate and material type.
)) Every controller shutdown resets the controller to normal mode.
)) The controller will automatically return into breakdown mode until the conveyor speed sensor problem is solved.
)) The «DPCONV» message is displayed every 10 km, with a small audible alarm to keep the operator aware that the controller operates in breakdown mode.
OVERSPEEDING
The controller beeps slowly while this condition lasts. This means that the spreading
operation is done at higher speed than the preprogrammed maximum speed. The
display indicates no special message.
)) Reduce the speed of the vehicle
ACE, Accent Electronic Controls, visit our website www.aceelectronic.ca
ECOBITE II PRO V. 4.4 User manual
INSUFFICIENT HYDRAULIC CAPACITY
The controller beeps rapidly. The display indicates the actual spread rate, not the set
rate. This indicates that the hydraulic system is of insufficient capacity to spread at the
rate and speed required.
)) Reduce the speed of the vehicle and/or spreading rate.

ANNEX V - OPRERATION DATA MANAGEMENT : INFOBITE SYSTEM
INFOBITE is a an automated ACE operations data (collection, transmission,
restitution and compilation) management system.
Inside each vehicle is installed
an INFOBITE module. This module
automatically records all of the vehicle
and operation data, in a programmable
way. It also does so each time a change in
operation is detected (different rate, blast,
pause, etc.).
These data are automatically transmitted
when the vehicle returns to its centre (or any
location equipped with an RF antenna and a
computer programmed to collect these data).
The INFOBITE software generates reports
based on events.
Youwillfindeveryparameterusedin
operations along with the date and hour
of each event as well as corresponding
quantities(kmandkg).
It also produces custom synthesis reports
accordingtoyourspecificneedsand
schedule.
In a nutshell, it allows you
to visualize Google maps
afteroperations and to compile results
(quantities of materials spread,
distance traveled, etc.) for each
vehicle according to a determined
time frame.

If your odometer operates with a magnetic speed sonsor on
the propeller output shaft, without an Engine Control Module,
(usually prior to 1998), you must use a two signal output
threaded sensor.
Note 1: On certain vehicles, it is possible to install a second
speed sensor on the propeller output shaft.

Note 2: Avoid this type of connection for vehicles equipped with
an electronically controlled transmission (automatic transmission)
Warning :
The majority of the new trucks, built since 1998, are equipped with an Engine Control Module
(ECM). It is very important to avoid any disruption of the transmission speed sensor signal on
the ECM.
Any alteration of this signal can cause severe engine and/or transmission damage. Also, avoid
making electrical connections between the sensor and the ECM.
Caution:
Install and fix wiring in a way to
avoid its deterioration due to
friction or excessive heat.
